My first day out on the road (Friday, 3/11) was just a short ride to make sure my bike was still working as well as when I put her away for the winter. Yep, she was, and I took two pictures, ostensibly for the riding game thread.
Now today, I had to put a check in the bank for the mileage my wife incurred on her business trip to the twin cities last Thursday, so she'd have money to fill the Suburban for her business trip back down there to visit another customer tomorrow.
I took the direct route there on the divided 4-lane highway, about 22 miles from my house. Didn't bother with any pictures, but, I decided the trip home would be on the more challenging (still sandy on the curves and snowmelt running across the road) and fun twisty bits. Some might call it "the long way home". I only took two pictures on a road that Ian and I rode on when I took him on his first day tour while he was here from Australia (you might have seen this road in pictures then, but it looked different).
Anyway, here are the picts, I put in 70 miles today.
Hey, it's sunny, not snowing or raining and 40* F. It was a great day for a ride and I'm breaking in my new AeroStich Roadcrafter riding pants while I'm doing it. My wife got them for my Christmas present because my old ones were stained and totally worn out.
